Dubai unaffected by credit crunch
2008-06-05 02:00:00 Overseas property investors could collect strong returns in Dubai, an expert has advised. According to Ahmed Jamal of Emerging Markets Property Advisors, the emirate is one of the best investment markets in the world. This was said to be because it has a very strong rental market, which means investors can enjoy high occupancy rates and healthy rental yields. Mr Jamal added that many other popular property hotspots have been negatively affected by the credit crunch. However, he stated that the problems in the worldwide economy have not extended as far as Dubai. "People are talking about a global property crisis but the terminology is incorrect," he commented. "There is a crisis in the US and parts of Europe but other places are doing well." This comes after Dubai Tourism and Commerce Marketing revealed that about seven million people booked accommodation in the region during 2007. According to the organisation, this number could possibly increase to ten ...

Commercial Property in Dubai takes off
2008-06-03 06:52:00 It seems very clear that the Real Estate developments in Dubai and specially the commercial office price are skyrocking. From 625 per sq foot starting in Year 2006, now have reached an average of 2,200 AED/sq ft.The demand from overseas and local corporations is growing which desire to own their office space instead of renting them. Commercial rents have dramatically increased to unprecedented levels in New York; London and Singapore. The cost per sq foot is high and should continue to grow. Many companies are planning to relocate to the Gulf and UAE as well as other Emirates then Dubai or even to another GCC country to reducing costs. By owning their own office, businesses will create an asset to their company and would be able to get leverage from their financial institution at a double win. When you ask where it will stop, investors would tell you to not be worried for the next 5 years until time of delivery of the property. Business Bay, the Manhattan of Dubai will have 180 de...

News: Dunkin' Donuts, a scarf and extremism.
2008-06-02 16:27:00 Only in America... On May 7, Dunkin? Donuts began running an ad, featuring local celebrity chef Rachael Ray wearing a black-and-white fringed scarf.The ad has now been revoked due to protest that Ms. Ray?s scarf resembled "to the type typically worn by Muslim extremists". (Full)Apart from thinking "Only in America!", the whole story truly saddens me. Even if the scarf was a keffiyeh, the traditional scarf of Arab men, then why does this have to be automatically associated with extremism, or seen as a symbol of support to terrorism? Is this a sign of the depth of the world's polarization into Arab and non-Arab, Muslim and non-Muslim?I have lived in Dubai for five years. I don't think I ever lived in a more tolerant society with respect for other cultures, religions and opinions. Far more tolerant than back home in Belgium, and certainly far more than the US. Sometimes I am ashamed on behalf of us, Westerners. Picture courtesy boston.com

New flights draw Brazilians to Dubai
2008-05-22 02:00:00 The introduction of new flights between Brazil and Dubai has boosted visitor numbers in the emirate, it has been revealed. According to the region's tourism and commerce marketing department, Dubai is likely to attract about 20,000 Brazilian holidaymakers this year. Hamad Mohammed bin Meiren, head of the department, stated that this is about twice the amount recorded in 2007. Speaking to ANBA, he said Dubai's growing popularity with Brazilian tourists is largely due to the introduction of new flights between the two locations. Mr Meiren commented: "We are glad to see more Brazilians there and word-of-mouth advertisement has many people wanting to get to know Dubai." This will be a positive development for owners of rental accommodation in Dubai, as it means their services are likely to be in greater demand over the next few months. As a result, the emirate could be a good location for prospective buy-to-let investors to consider. According to official government f...

Dubai attracts top-end holidaymakers
2008-05-21 02:00:00 Dubai has gained a reputation as a luxury holiday destination, a travel industry expert has stated. Frances Tuke from the Association of British Travel Agents said the region is a "four or five star" location which appeals to affluent visitors. This, she said, has led to tourism generating considerable sums of money for the Dubai economy, which are being pumped into the sector to improve it further. Ms Tuke believes its emergence as a leading holiday destination has had a profound impact on Dubai and its economic performance in recent years. She commented: "Dubai, quite a while ago, was really just a desert state; [now] it's one of the fastest growing cities in the world." According to official government figures, Dubai attracted more than six million holidaymakers in 2007. Tourism was said to account for about 18 per cent of its gross domestic product during this period.
